Just a few hours left on #GivingTuesday

Dear ,

There's just a few hours left to donate to the Texas Observer for #GivingTuesday, so I wanted to make sure you got a chance to read my email from earlier today.

There's still time to support independent, investigative reporting in Texas—donate before midnight to have your gift matched!

Thank you,
Loren

P.S. If you've already donated, thank you! And please accept our apologies for the duplicate emails. 

Dear Reader, 

We know how much you care about the truth, so here it is: we need you! Today is Giving Tuesday which is all about coming together and sharing what we can with those in our community in need. By donating today, you can help us continue to share the Texas Observer with everyone entirely free of charge. 

For 67 years, Texans have counted on us to tell it like it is, everyday, every issue, every year. The Texas Observer needs your support to continue producing the most accurate and in depth reporting in the Lone Star State. And when you give a gift today, thanks to the generosity of a longtime TXO friend and board member, your donation will be matched, dollar-for-dollar up to $3,000! For 24 hours only, your impact will be doubled.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Interim Publisher

Need 900 people to give $10 before midnight

We don't charge for subscriptions or run ads on our website. We depend on committed and generous people who step up to become members and make our journalism possible.




Every month, millions of people read or listen to The Intercept's reporting — but fewer than 1 percent of them donate to make it possible.

To effectively confront the powerful and expose corruption, our stories need to be available to everyone, not hidden behind a paywall.

Because we don't charge for subscriptions or run ads on our website, we depend on committed and generous people who step up to become members and make our journalism possible.

This has been a challenging year, and we're counting on Giving Tuesday to make up a significant fundraising shortfall. And with just 6 hours left, we're only $9,000 short of our $90,000 goal: In other words, we need 900 more readers to give $10 before midnight.

Whatever you can afford to give, your support today will ensure that The Intercept remains sustainable and independent headed into a critical election year.

With for-profit news organizations collapsing left and right, The Intercept is a nonprofit that publishes in-depth investigative reporting: journalism that actually uncovers new information and holds the powerful accountable.

Consider what the world of media would look like without The Intercept. Who would hold party elites accountable to the values they proclaim to have? How many covert wars, miscarriages of justice, and dystopian technologies would remain hidden if our reporters weren't on the beat?

We expose the moneyed interests. We refuse to cozy up to those in power. And in the process, we make some powerful enemies. This kind of journalism is not cheap or easy, and we couldn't do it without you.

That's why it's so important that we meet this goal by midnight. Donate now.
